look Of his pleaded more potenfly and
further in his behalf than had his speech.
Ihayes seen the like of it often since, and
it always carries with it certain weight,
even despite ugly evidence.
But at this moment and before could
enter upon particulars, / heard the voice Of q
prominent young merchant of the town--a
Mr.. Blake calling to me with great vehe-
mence. On going to the grated window l
saw him standing without, hat in hand, and
his face flushed as if he had just run mile.
He was fairly painting with excitement.
"Come out of there, Cullyw he began.
"Come with mel Ask no questions; it's a
matter of life and death |" And as he said
this, gesticulating, he started off around the
corner of the Jail as if he expected me to
obey him, as matter of course. And did.
On following him up. found him seated in
buggy, to which he had hitched his two
superb horses-the aeetest in the county.
"Get in, quick! for Gods sakep he cried,
as he made room for me.
Without question or demur mounted to
his side, and in a moment we were flying
along the great road eastward.
My unquestioning behavior will be better
understood when I tell my reader that Blake
was my most intimate associate and as
brave, impetuous and generous a man as
ever stood friend to brother. I remem-
bered, too, that had often heard him speak
of the prisoner in the warmest terms-as his
friend and benefactor.
"Now, Blake, if you have not entirely lost
your senses" began, ~ think you must
see that am entitled to an explanation of
this extraordinary conductl'
Eyes, yes; certainly" he answered, con-
fusedly, and as if it had not before occurred
to him that I did not fully understand his
purpose.
"Why, you see," he went on, ~ owe
everything have in the world to this old
mani"
"What did he ever do for your" ques-
toned, for knew Doty was regarded as hard
and grasping.
'tHe loaned me $1,000 when wasn't worth
five hundred. It was war times and with it
I made my fortune" Though not, yet
thirty and starting with nothing, Blake was
easily worth two hundred thousand.)
"What interest dld you pay Uncle Tom l''
I asked, knowing that Doty loved usury
and hoping to cool my friends
ardor.
"Ten per cent, but it was worth thou
sand! And he required no surety! If he
had, couldn't have given it, and I'd be as
poor as church-mouse to-day !" was his
answer, and he evinced more vehemence and
enthusiasm than ever
"And he isn't guilty, eitherp' he cried, as
he bent forward and laid whip to his already
bounding horses. It was six miles from the
county seat to the scene of the murder: we

peared to be but slightly worn. The cobbief
in mending the boot had pegged . thick,
round piece of leather here, the imprint
whereof was perfect in every detail, even to
the pegs. The heel on the inner edge had
also been worn away and had been mended
by q triangular piece Of heavy sole leather,
fastened with iron tacks or nails with heavy,
square heads, while row of smaller tacks had
been driven around the rest of the heel, and
into the centre of the heel one of the large
square-headed tacks had been driven; but,
as if afraid if sent home it would go through
the heel and plague the wearer, it had been
left about the sixteenth of an inch above the
surface.
Fastening to a fallen poplar tree, Blake
procured some bark. He came back pant
ing with excitement. He was noted for his
ingenuity, having been bred carpenter and
joiner. He proceeded with patience quite
surprising to reproduce out of the bark the
sole and heel of the culprit's left shoe. In
twenty minutes his work was SO well done
that when he laid the wrought bark down
and gently pressed it into the mold by plac-
ing his foot upon it, no one on its removal
could have distinguished the two imprints.
The patch on the sole, the wooden pegs, the
triangular piece on the heel with the square
nails, the hob nail in the centre of the
heel, all were there.
But there was one thought, at first vaguely
intruding itself upon my mind, now found
growing upon me, until at length could not
dismiss it; and yet, specifically considered,
it appeared illogical and most improbable.
But it grew SO overbearing that at length
startled my companion by exclaiming in
voluntarily:
''Why, Blake, this track was made by de-
sign'
EYES," he said, after moments silence
and with unusual solemnity for him. EYES,
it was made by design-the design of an all
wise Providence-to save an innocent man
from prison, and possibly the halter"
This reception of my suggestion in no wise
shook my still growing conviction.
''If in pursuing this track we find other
imprints of this same foot on other smooth
surfaces of mold like this, and you observe
that they are not numerous considering that
this is fallow land, what will you say then?''
/ went on. "That Providence still cares for
His own. Comep' he said, rising and start
ing southwark along the trail of the culprit.
And, sure enough, we had not proceeded
twenty PAGES when we came upon another
glass-like section of the upturned mold, and,
10 squarely upon the smooth and shining
face lay the print of the same left foot, not
peg nor tack wanting, not an outline
blurred.
"What say you now?" cried, with an air
and feeling of triumph. "How do you ac-
count for this tracks perfect and unbroken
outline?' I continued, for this track bore
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1887-07-08

unmistakable evidence of not having horne
the full weight of the culprit. This evident
TACT staggered Blake. He stood gazing at the
footprint, when suddenly his face lighted up
as he exclaimed: "See p and he pointed to
what proved to be the track of the same foot
just OFF the square of mold and near the
track of the right foot though not so plainly
outlined as the right, as if the culprit had
stood with most of his weight on the right,
for he had stopped.
Il have itP cried Blake "He stopped
here and looked around at his victim p And
on nearer and more critical inspection this,
from the skewed and wry shape of the track,
we found probable. If he did, as from sub
sequent experience in criminal practice I
doubt not, turn to look at his victim, he
must have seen that which filled his soul
with unutterable terror. For as he started
on his steps began to lengthen, and then, from
rapid, long strides, he had broken into a
trot, then into run. Now he had reached
declivity, when he had made great bounds
like those of a stag-one leap measuring
no less than eighteen feet. So great and i'm
petuous had been his speed that he had
dashed through an infirm old fence. as a
frightened horse might
